Have you noticed this? Expensive cars rarely signal. There must be something wrong with their equipment … <BR/><BR/>It drives me nuts.NL Gasserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601313602009358600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-49387716965128855212008-02-04T09:05:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:05:00.000-05:00Annette, one of our traffic cops holds a traffic c...Annette, one of our traffic cops holds a traffic camp every May at the high school. Any teen who got a traffic ticket throughout the year has the option of attending the camp instead of paying the fine. Carl shows a slide show with photos of serious accidents, has a father come in to talk to them about losing his teen daughter in an accident, etc. It's very effective. They also do a crash reenactment before the prom.Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-44932816760655716182008-02-04T07:39:00.000-05:002008-02-04T07:39:00.000-05:00I've been saying for years that all teens should s...I've been saying for years that all teens should spend a month riding along with an ambulance crew. Impractical? Perhaps. But after my stint as an EMT when I was in my late teens, early twenties, I had seen first-hand what crumpled steel can do to the human body. It ain't pretty.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-65969373032091653602008-02-04T07:18:00.000-05:002008-02-04T07:18:00.000-05:00Excellent advice, Gina!

They should teach some of this stuff in driver's ed. <BR/><BR/>There was one accident in Shaler last week, where both drivers tried to beat the red light. One was turning left after the light turned red and the other car (going straight through the red light) hit him. I was surprised the officer didn't cite them. I would have cited BOTH of them. We get a lot of road rage incidents, too--at least one or two per week.Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.com
